Looking forward to this


What a great story of genius lost and rediscovered. Bravo for Brookner's colleagues in bringing his work to life. I met Burroughs when I was doing grad work on Charles Olson's writings on Pound at St. Elizabeth's and we got a chance to have coffee on half a dozen occasions to talk about his and Olson's proto-Beat influence on the Beats.

BTW I still have an 1911 Burroughs gave me.

After a shooting spree, they always want to take the guns away from the people who didn’t do it. I sure as hell wouldn’t want to live in a society where the only people allowed guns are the police and the military.
